“It was a little like Into the Sands, with Claude Barron, which she'd seen a couple of weeks ago. In that picture Claude Barron enlists in the Foreign Legion because Rita Carrol marries another guy. The other guy turns out to be a cheater and drinker, and so Rita Carrol leaves him and travels out to the desert where Claude Barron if fighting the Arabs. By the time Rita Carrol gets there he’s in the hospital, wounded, or not a hospital really but just a tent and she tells him she loves him and Claude Barron says, “I went into the desert to forget about you. But the sand was the color of your hair. The desert sky was the color of your eyes. There was nowhere I could go that wouldn’t be you.” And then he dies. Tessie cried buckets. Her mascara ran, staining the collar of her blouse something awful.”

“Жегата идва преди огъня. Смокините, струпани на кея, ненатоварени навреме, започват да се пекат, пускат мехурчета и сок. Сладкото се смесва с миризмата на дим.
Живял съм дълги години в Близкия Изток. Единственият урок, който научих, е, че с тези хора нищо не може да се направи. Нищичко! Турците са най-добрите. Според мен арменците са като евреите. Липсва им морал и интелект. Що се отнася до гърците – ами вижте ги. Изпепелиха цялата страна и сега се трупат тук и плачат за помощ.
Споменах ли как лятно време по улиците на Смирна били наредени кошници с розов цвят? И как всички в града говорели френски, италиански, гръцки, турски, английски и холандски? А казах ли ви за прочутите смокини, донесени от кервани с камили и стоварени на земята, огромни камари размекнати плодове, долу в прахта, които мърляви жени топели в солена вода, а децата клечали да акат зад камарите? Споменах ли как жените смесвали смрадта на смокините с по-приятните миризми на маслинови дръвчета, мимоза, лавър и праскови и как всички носели маски на Марди Гра и вечеряли изобилно на борда на фрегатите? Искам да спомена тези неща, защото всички те ставали в този град, който нямал определено място, който не бил част от никоя държава, понеже бил всички държави и защото ако сега отидем там, ще видите модерни високи сгради, безпаметни булеварди, претъпкани цехове, щаб-квартирата на НАТО и табела, на която пише Измир…”
